One of the dangers of online retailing is the possibility that you lose track of your competitors. If you have a retail store in your local mall it's pretty easy to keep track of what your opposition is doing because they tend to plaster it all over their windows but, with your online competition coming from all over the country (or the world, if it comes to that,) it may take a little more effort.
